Illegal Land... there are two kinds of people.
Those who oppress others, the madly vicious, they generate riots, stop at nothing... they are the main members of Jile's Crowd and the Black Emperor.
The other kind is at their wit's end, forced to survive, living in poverty.
This group actually makes up the majority, unable to afford all the expenses of the Main City, working during the day, and at night they can only root themselves here, enjoying a filthy and cheap life, this also being the exclusive survival ground for the slums.
The Black Emperor and Jile's Crowd are both behemoths.
If one wished to stir these two massive gang forces by oneself, there was only one path to take.
"Boss, this is the protection money we just collected, about six hundred thousand Cyber Coins," ten underlings said, wanting to hand over the Cyber Coins they collected from various shops.
"Good, nicely done. Here's fifty thousand for you guys as a seeing fee, the rest I will hand over, meeting the target," Su Qi made a gesture, smiled faintly, "Remember, do not let it get out, the part given to you."
"Thank you, Boss Su!" the ten men's eyes lit up, "We definitely won't let it slip!"
They naturally kept some of the protection money for themselves, but usually, each only got a thousand or two thousand, but they hadn't expected the newly appointed boss to be so generous!
"Okay, meeting adjourned, go have fun."
Su Qi watched as the ten men left excitedly, he muttered to himself, "After all, there aren't many days left to play."
He slowly retracted his gaze.
Su Qi stepped into a prosthetic machinery shop that had just paid the protection fee.
The owner was a burly man, his pupils slightly trembled, they, frankly speaking, were the oppressed, meeting the power of the Black Emperor, they could only swallow their grievances and pay up for safety.
After paying, this person came again!
Su Qi calmly said, "Boss... I'm not a bad person."
Weren't you the one who just collected the protection money!
"What do you want to do?" the burly shop owner quietly asked.
"Me, I'm here to... buy something."
Su Qi slowly revealed the fifty thousand Cyber Coins he had collected.
"What do you want..." he asked, a hint of anger in his eyes—they had tempers too but had been enduring for survival, but even if the other side was too outrageous, they had no capacity to retaliate.
How could his shop... stand against these two big gangs, only able to compromise and seek peace.
"Well." Su Qi looked around his shop, tapped on the counter of the prosthetic, weapon-selling counter:
"I want quite a lot of stuff, you might have to bear with it."
The burly shop owner clenched his teeth, "Say it, I can handle it."
"That remains to be seen."
Su Qi showed a smile, "After all, what I want to talk to you about... is a very big order."
Now the burly man was also stunned.
The curly-haired young man silently observed everything chaotic in Illegal Land, "Five days, Jile's Crowd and the Black Emperor have been fighting fiercely for a full five days, and it's getting more intense! It's almost reached a life-and-death situation! They must be crazy."
He shook his head, "Right now we don't even have the chance to meet and negotiate with the opposing boss, let alone establish channels to make money from the margins."
"If it weren't for... a supplier named The Hustlers appearing, establishing a supply chain for us, stabilizing other players, our camp would probably have already collapsed."
Sha Shili, the man in white, remained silent, everything that happened in the past few days indeed varied from their plans.
Conflicts between Jile's Crowd and the Black Emperor were uninterrupted.
There was no respite; it seemed someone lit the fuse, directly causing the hatred between both sides to burst out.
They naturally couldn't interfere.
"That supplier named The Hustlers took two tenths of our profits hard," the female player with glasses sighed, "As if they had us completely under their thumb."
"No matter what," Sha Shili was calm, "it's already operating now, and all the money is for obtaining Points, so there's no need to get too caught up."
"After all, the real rivals are the lunatics from Free City, we need to stabilize our footing before they make a move."
That is the ultimate goal.
In Free City, people were in a reception room of a building called Life Group, led by a young man, ID [Netherworld King]
"Life Group is one of the top elite in all of Night City... a super Commercial Empire that creates and develops all prosthetics."
Netherworld King, his expression somber and cold, gently said, "If we succeed, that will... firmly secure our position in the Night City processing department."
This was their route, clinging to the elite! By bribing, heavily investing resources... to get the power and position they wanted!
Although it was a loss-making business initially.
But once in the later stages, they could use the authority of the Night City emergency processing department to carry out the cleanup and sweep of Illegal Land! At the same time, besiege the other players... carry out a massacre!
To take all the Cyber Coins they had earned into their own pockets!
"So, rather than saying it's about obtaining Points, but in the end, everything is ultimately about fighting!"
Netherworld King revealed a profound smile, "But Sha Shili... indeed lives up to being a core member of the top club, establishing a camp in Illegal Land in just three days and getting it operational, but... he can't play better than me."
